Race fans were treated to a night of nail-biting racing Thursday evening as the USMTS invaded 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, along with the USRA-B Mods.

Kenton Allen of Chanute started on the pole in the feature and fought off all comers for the first 17 laps, putting a straightaway between himself and the field.

Caution flew on lap 17, bringing Baldwin City's Jeremy Chambers to the back bumper of the leader for a late-race restart.

Allen powered away from the field on the restart and drove to his first feature win at 81 Speedway.

Chambers settled for second with Enid, Oklahoma’s Dustin Johnson; Allen Owen Jr. of Pocola, Oklahoma; and Mike Striegel of Wheatland, Missouri, completing the top five.

Heat race wins went to Allen, Johnson and Owen.
